330 V, V | reach Brescia.~Niccolo, on being acquainted with the count’
331 V, V | their actual strength, for being very elevated they command
332 V, V | when the gate was forced, being now aware of the presence

334 V, V | citizens, anxious to avoid being plundered by the troops,
335 V, V | refused to credit it; but being assured of the fact by parties
336 V, V | after this victory, it being now winter and the weather
337 V, V | their army.~The Florentines, being informed of these transactions,
338 V, V | were increased by their being unable to account for Niccolo’
339 V, VI | moment the cardinal, from being a commander of armies, found
340 V, VI | began to use threats, but being informed of the pope’s directions
341 V, VI | the situation of Brescia, being considered in conjunction
342 V, VI | hastened to Venice, and being introduced to the Doge,
343 V, VI | the affairs of Romagna being settled, purposed making
344 V, VI | from the Val d’Arno; and being in an elevated situation,
345 V, VI | thither with forty horse, and being one of her citizens, met

351 V, VII | on the left; the infantry being drawn up along the banks
352 V, VII | unbroken, and the ground being leveled, they could manœuvre
353 V, VII | to reinforce his troops, being prevented by the impetuosity

355 V, VII | ever an instance of wars being carried on in an enemy’s
356 V, VII | engaged with little danger; being nearly all mounted, covered
357 V, VII | times. The enemy’s forces being defeated and driven into
358 V, VII | returned from Arezzo, Niccolo being then gone, the commissaries
359 VI, I | occasioned by his friends, which being less justifiable, must cause
360 VI, I | from a consideration of his being thus compelled to oppress
361 VI, I | their accoutrements, and being neither slain nor detained
362 VI, I | this, both ransom and booty being appropriated by the troops,
363 VI, I | could not fight without being remounted, and the conquerors
364 VI, I | soon occupied Verona: that being deprived of his army at
365 VI, I | large force in Tuscany; that being completely defeated at Anghiari,
366 VI, I | for 25,000 ducats.~Affairs being thus situated, each party
